Definitions
- This disclosure generally pertains to abrasive blasting, with related apparatuses, methods, and systems, where the blasting may be wet, dry, or combinations thereof. More specifically, the disclosure relates to improved blast hose handling.
- Abrasive blasting is the process of forcibly propelling a high pressure, high velocity stream of abrasive material against a surface.
- a supply of sand or other types of particles, such as grit or the like
- the sand particulate becomes entrained in the air.
- the resultant air-sand mixture emerges at high speed from a nozzle at the end of a blast hose.
- Abrasive blasting is a physically laborious activity that raises musculoskeletal health concerns especially when using larger nozzles. The operator must control the hose in operation by gripping the hose tightly and simultaneously controlling the nozzle reactive back thrust using arms and torso.
- the operator may bend the blast hose against his/her body and create a blast hose arc angles greater than 90 degrees, which may result in a hose wear point. If the hose wears through, the abrasive may injure the operator. Bending the hose creates another source of force on the arms and shoulders particularly with larger hoses used for larger nozzles.
- Another common occurrence from fatigue is where the operator increases abrasive flow to decrease air flow (increased friction) to reduce back thrust which leads to increased cost and waste. Fatigue and/or injury also result in decreased productivity.
- Embodiments of the disclosure pertain to an abrasive blasting system that may include any of: a blast hose; and a deadman assembly operably coupled directly or indirectly with the blast hose. Any discharge from the blast hose may depend on the position of the deadman assembly.
- the deadman assembly may include or otherwise be coupled with a carrier assembly.
- the deadman assembly may be indirectly coupled with the blast hose via the carrier assembly.
- the thrust management system may be utilized for an abrasive blasting operation; however, other modes of operation are possible, such as pressure washing or the like (for example, a firefighter holding a spray hose).

- FIG. 1 A, IB, 1C, ID, and IE together, a process diagram view of an abrasive blasting system in a blast mode, a close-up prospective side view of a carrier assembly for a blast hose, a partial rear view of the carrier assembly of Figure IB engaged with the hose, a partial rear view of the carrier assembly of Figure IB with a body pad in a reversed side configuration, and a left side and right side body view of thrust impact to a body via use of a thrust management system, respectively, illustrative of embodiments disclosed herein, are shown.
- FIG. 1A illustrates an embodiment of the abrasive blasting process (or system) 100, for which a supply of sand (or other types of particles, such as grit or the like) 114 may be mixed with a fast-moving fluid stream 112, usually in a mixer or valve 110.
- the fluid stream 112 may be other materials, such as water and the like.
- the sand particulate 114 may be entrained in the air 112, and the resultant airsand mixture 106 emerges at high speed from a nozzle 105 at the end of a blast hose 104.
- the mixture 106 may be highly abrasive, and the blast 106 may remove even strongly-adhered compounds (e.g, paint, etc.) from a structural surface(s) 108.
- the discharge of the air-sand mixture 106 may be hazardous for multiple reasons. First, particulate from the discharge, and as well as the blasted-surface, may linger in the air in the form of a cloud 107, making breathing difficult. As such, a breathing hood or suit 101 may be worn by an operator 102 (the suit 101 may be fed breathing air 103). However, the suit 101 does not provide for easy handling of the hose 104. As such, the operator 102 may utilize a carrier assembly 111.
- the carrier assembly 111 may be an elongated tubular-type structure configured for mounting on and/or around the hose 104.
- the assembly 111 may have a casing (body) 150, which may have one or more integral or coupled subcomponents.
- the assembly 111 may have a ‘clamshell’ configuration suitable for closing around the hose 104.
- the carrier assembly 111 may be mounted proximate to the nozzle 105 and nozzle holder 105a, as this positioning may give the operator 102 optimal control.
- the clamshell configuration may be created by lining up tabs on one part of the body 150 into slots into another part of the body, and creating a hinge point.

- the pad mount 253 may have a rail slot 274 (on either or both sides of the mount 253) configured to movingly (slidingly) engage the first rail 252A. Accordingly, the position of the pad mount 253 may be adjustable along the rail 252A, and the orientation of the pad mount 253 may be extended outwardly left or right.
- the pad mount 253 may be releasably coupled with the first rail 252A in any suitable manner, such as via a twistable knob 269A having a lock screw 271 A disposed therethrough (the lock screw 271 A engageable against the rail 252A via a hole in the mount 253).

The sloped profile results in an overhang that eliminates or mitigates this possibility.
- the deadman assembly 215 may have an upper end 287 configured with a deadman rail slot 270, which may accommodate moving (sliding) engagement onto the second guide rail 252B.
- the deadman 215 may be releasably coupled with the second rail 252B in any suitable manner, such as via a twistable knob 269 having a lock screw 271 disposed therethrough (the lock screw 271 engageable against the rail 252B via a hole in the deadman 215). Accordingly, the position of the deadman 215 may be adjustable along the rail 252B.
- the deadman assembly 215 may operably coupled with peripheral equipment, such as a power source or control logic, via connection point 282.
- the carrier assembly 211 may be configured for disposing around a blast hose or other comparable piece of equipment.

- the gripper inserts 261 may correspond to different hose sizes.
- the barbs on the insert 261 may keep a (blast) hose straight in the carrier assembly 211. It is worth noting that the insert 261 may be integral with the respective portion 250 A/B, and thus while referred to as ‘gripper inserf could simply just be referred to as a gripper feature.
- a gripper insert having a gripper rib and a wear surface a gripper insert having a gripper rib and an alignment guide rib, a snap-in gripper insert, a gripper insert having a lateral alignment guide, and a side profile view of a gripper insert having a wear indicator surface between two gripper ribs, respectively, illustrative of embodiments disclosed herein, are shown.

- FIG. 3A, 3B, 3C, and 3D together, a process diagram view of an abrasive blasting system in a blast mode, a close-up side cross-sectional view of a deadman assembly in a no-blast mode, a deadman assembly in a no-blast, nozzle-vent mode (or sometimes non-emergency), and a deadman assembly in the blast mode, respectively, illustrative of embodiments disclosed herein, are shown.
- FIGS 3A-3D illustrate an abrasive blasting system 300 for use in treating a surface 308.
- the blasting system 300 may include a multi-position, multi-function deadman assembly 315. That is, the deadman assembly 315 may be operable in more than a blast/no-blast configuration.
- the deadman assembly 315 may be part of or coupled with a carrier assembly 311. While it need not be exactly the same, the carrier assembly 311 may be like that of assembly 111, 211, etc., and components thereof may be duplicate or analogous. Thus, only a brief discussion of the assembly 311 may be provided, recognizing that differences, if any, would be discernable by one of skill in the art, especially in view of the present disclosure.
- the deadman assembly 315 may be associated with system operation logic 315A, the configuration and operation of which may depend on the position of the trigger lever 340, as illustrated in Figures 3B-3D.
- Figure 3B illustrates an electrical-type deadman
- Figures 3C-D show pneumatic
- Any component of the system 300 may be in operable communication with a power source (not viewable here).
- Embodiments herein are not meant to be limited, and varied power configurations for the deadman assembly 315 (and system 300) may be possible, such as electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and so forth.
- the deadman 315 may be suited for applications that permit a blast nozzle 305 (or an area proximate thereto) to be held indirectly by an operator 302 facing forward during operation.
- this mode may entail the operator 302 fully engaging the deadman assembly 315 in a manner whereby the system logic 315 A may activate one or more controllers such that signal airflow 312a may now transfer to the air valve 322 and the metering valve 324.
- the air valve 322 opens, blast air 312b may flow through the valve 322 toward mixer 310.
- media valve 324 opens, media 314a may transfer from media storage 314, through the valve 324, and into mixer 310.
- vent line 330 remains closed (pinched) [via logic 315A], the only path for the mixed air and media 306 is through hose 304 and out of the nozzle 305.
- the blast media 306 impacts against the surface 308 to accomplish the desired blasting outcome.
- the operator 302 may readily hold the carrier assembly 311 in accordance with embodiments herein.
- Figure 3B illustrates the lever 340 in an unengaged (or unsqueezed, etc.) or released position which may result in a no-flow configuration for logic 315A.
- a control signal may be withheld or otherwise disabled in a manner that the signal does not communicate from the logic 315A, and as such prevents an airflow signal 312a from transferring from airflow source 312 to respective downstream valves.
- the logic 315A may prevent airflow 312a from transferring to combination valve 328.
- ‘Combination valve’ in this sense means the valve 328 may have a combined dual function associated with it, such as controlling blast air 312b, while at the same time pinching/unpinching the exhaust line 330 in an area proximate to a pinch point 332.
- a ram may be in a normally open position when airflow 312a is withheld from the valve 328.
- the valve end may be closed, therefore preventing blast air 312b to flow to the air valve 322.
- the blast air valve 322 and the metering valve 324 may be in a normally closed position, whereby blast air 312b and (dry) media 314a are prevented from entering mixing zone or region 310.
- the trigger 340 may be movingly (such as pivotably) coupled with the frame 342, such as at pivot point 341.
- the trigger 340 may be biased away from engaging the switches (or valves or other suitable control devices within the deadman 315) 318, 326, such that an amount of squeezing force may be needed in order to move the trigger 340.
- Any initial attempt to squeeze the trigger 340 may be impeded by coming into contact with an end 348a of a lock flap 348.
- the lock flap 348 may be movingly (such as pivotably) coupled with the frame 342, such as at pivot point 341a.
- the lock flap 348 may have a first position. The first position of the lock flap 348 may prevent the trigger (or respective cantilever tabs 345, 346) from engaging (closing) the switches 318, 326.
- the lock flap 348 may be biased (such as with a spring) to the first position.
- switches may be protected via a sheathing 349.
- the switches 318, 326 may be operably associated with the logic circuit 315A (and respective controllers via wiring, lines, infrared, or other suitable signal transmission configuration).
- wiring 319 may be disposed within a cavity 343.
- the cavity 343 may be enclosed in order to prevent or mitigate against the presence of debris, particulate, etc.
- Figure 3C illustrates the deadman 315 moved to a no-blast, nozzle-vent mode (or sometimes non-emergency), which may entail the operator 302 partially releasing the deadman assembly 315 such that the trigger/lever 340 may energize the primary switch 318, but is prohibited from doing the same for the secondary switch 326.
- airflow 312a may be transferred to the combo valve 328 in sufficient enough manner to move (urge) the ram against the exhaust line 330 at pinch point 332, thereby ‘closing’ off the line 330 (or keeping it closed).
- Figure 3A In normal operation, the operator 302 may be engaged in blast mode ( Figure 3A), but then desires a non-emergency release, whereby the line 330 stays closed, and any remnant air and media thus released out of the nozzle 305.
- Figure 3C may generally represent the shift from the blast mode to anon-emergency (partial) release of the deadman assembly 315.
- lock flap 348 Only when the operator 302 manually toggles a lock flap 348 out of the way of the handle 340 will the operator 302 be able to fully squeeze the handle 340 in order to engage/close switch 326 (and thus move back to blast mode - Figures 3A and 3D). Otherwise, as shown here in Figure 3C, the lock flap 348 may be configured to prohibit the movement of the handle 340 in order to engage the secondary switch 326 (but yet able to engage the primary switch 318). The lock flap 348 may have an intermediate or second position of Figure 3C that allows the trigger to engage primary switch 318, but not engage the secondary switch 326.
- an end 348a of the lock flap 348 by being moved into recess 347, may be engaged with and prevent movement of the handle 340 from the position shown in Figure 3C in order to initiate the blast mode (3D).
- the only way to initiate blast mode is to (manually) move the lock flap 348 out of the way (via pivot connection point 341a), which means further moving the end 348a out of the recess 347. But unless and until this action occurs, or the handle 340 is released, the deadman assembly 315 may remain in the no-blast, nozzle-vent mode.
- Figure 3D corresponds to the blast mode shown in Figure 3A, which entails the operator 302 fully engaging the deadman assembly 315 in a manner whereby the trigger/lever 340 may energize each of the primary switch 318 and the secondary switch 326, as indicated by depressed switch arrows B. This may only occur then the operator 302 manually moves an end 348a of lock flap 348 out of the way (whereby the end 348a may be moved further out of or beyond recess 347).
- the switches 318 and 336 are engaged, the system 300 may be in the blast mode of Figure 3 A.
- FIG. 6A, 6B, and 6C a close-up side cross-sectional view of a pneumatic deadman assembly in a no-blast or emergency shutdown mode having a biased trigger mechanism, a close-up side cross-sectional view of the deadman assembly moved to a noblast, nozzle- vent mode, and a close-up side cross-sectional view of the deadman assembly moved to a blast mode, respectively, illustrative of embodiments disclosed herein, are shown.
- Figures 6A-6C illustrate a deadman assembly 615 for use with an abrasive blasting system (such as any system described herein) that may be multi-position, multi-function (akin to 315, etc.).
- an abrasive blasting system such as any system described herein
- the deadman assembly may utilize a primary pneumatic valve 618 and a second pneumatic valve 626.
- a respective plunger 645 and 646 must be moved into contact therewith.
- a trigger 640 may be movingly (such as pivotably) coupled with the frame 642. The trigger 640 may be biased away from engaging the valves 618, 626, such that an amount of squeezing force may be needed in order to move the trigger 640.
- Any initial attempt to squeeze the trigger 640 may be impeded by coming into contact with a lock flap 648.
- the lock flap 648 may be movingly (such as pivotably) coupled with the frame 642.
- the lock flap 648 may have a first position (Fig. 6A), a second position (Fig. 6B), and a third position (Fig. 6C), each corresponding a mode of operation.
- FIG. 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D together, a prospective side view of an open carrier assembly for a blast hose, a prospective side view of the carrier assembly closed around (safety latches engaged but not fully latched) the blast hose, a prospective side view of the carrier assembly closed around the blast hose, and securely latched, and a close-up view of a gripper insert for snap- or press-fit into, and easy removal out of, a gripper receptacle respectively, illustrative of embodiments disclosed herein, are shown.
- the carrier assembly 411 may be like that of assembly 111, 211, etc., and components thereof may be duplicate or analogous. Thus, only a brief discussion of the assembly 411 may be provided, recognizing that differences, if any, would be discernable by one of skill in the art, especially in view of the present disclosure.
- first and second portions 450 A/B whereby the hose 404 may reside or be disposed therein, as shown in Figure 4A.
- the portions 450 A/B may then be closed together (such as rotating via hinges 481).
- Figure 4B shows the unlatched (with safety latches 467 engaged) view of the assembly 411, where the tension latch 465 has its upper latch end 465 A extended outward from the carrier body 450. This allows a latch pin 479 on the end of latch spring 464 enough clearance to move below and into a latch T-slot 463.
- the safety latch 467 in the second portion 450B may be engaged in the safety latch slot 466 in first portion 450A holding carrier assembly 411 in place on the blast hose (see the gap between the safety latch 467 and the upper body 450A in Fig 4C when the tension latches are engaged).
- Figure 4C shows when the latch pin 479 is within the slot 463, the user may push the tension latch end 465 against the body 450, which results in the pin 479 pulling the second portion 450B tighter against the first portion 450A, and the tension latch 465 moved to a latched position L.
- a safety pin 476 may be inserted within the latch 465 providing an added measure of safety in keeping the assembly 411 around the hose 404.
- Figure 4D shows there may be an insert 861, which may mate into an insert receptacle 462.
- Each of the portions 450A, 450B may have a respective insert 461.
- the insert 461 may be configured for simple toolless coupling to the carrier assembly (such as snap-in or press-fit), which could be for install or replacement.
- the gripper insert 461 may have one or more protruding nubs 439.
- the nubs 439 may be akin to a wear indicator surface, in that the insert 461 may provide the operator with an indication that the hose is starting to wear through (and needs to be replaced).
- the wear indicator surface 439 may have a top surface depressed a depth (d) from a respective top surface of a proximate rib. The depth (d) may be about 0 inches to about 0.2 inches.
- thrust management system 795 shown in Figures 7A-7B together may be like that of embodiments herein, etc., and components thereof may be duplicate or analogous. Thus, only a brief discussion of the system may be provided, recognizing that differences, if any, would be discernable by one of skill in the art, especially in view of the present disclosure.
- the thrust management system 795 may include a pad mount 753, a coupler 755, a pad mount backing 758, and a pad 756.
- the pad mount 753 may be coupled with a hose or the like via a carrier assembly 711.
- the thrust management system 795 may include the pad mount 753 configured to couple to the carrier assembly 711 (e.g., Figure IB).
- the pad mount 753 may be coupled with the pad mount backing 758 via the coupler 755.
- the pad mount backing 758 and the pad mount 753 may be hard or rigid in nature. Just the same, the pad mount backing 758 need not be limited, and may thus have some amount of flexibility.
- the coupler 755 and the pad 756 may be soft or pliable in nature.
- the pad mount 753 may have one or more elongated sections (portions, members, etc.), such as a first elongated member 791b.
- the first elongated member 791b may be configured in a manner to accommodate mounting with the carrier assembly 711, such as being slotted or grooved (to mate with a respective rail of the assembly).
- the pad mount 753 may have a second elongated member 791a.
- the second elongated member 791a may be integral to the first elongated member 791b, but need not be.
- the second elongated member 791a may be integral to or otherwise coupled with the first elongated member 791b via one or more support members 792.
- the second elongated member 791a may have an end that terminates into a pad coupler extension 754.
- the pad coupler extension may be coupled into or with the coupler 755, similar to the pad mount backing 758 having a pad mount extension 757 that may also couple into or with the coupler 755.
- the pad mount backing 758 may be a rigid, semi-rigid, or semi-flexible piece having the conformable pad 756 disposed thereon.
- the pad 756 may be glued, adhered, press fit, or the like, with the pad mount backing 758.
- the pad mount backing 758 and the pad 756 may be operable together to provide comfortability to an operator during an operation, while at the same time be durable enough to provide thrust displacement and distribution onto the user.

- the end thickness Te may be about 0.075”.
- the thickness profile ratio may be generally consistent in the pad mount backing 758, regardless of shape or size of the mount (or pad).
- Figure 7A shows the pad 756 and pad mount backing 758 in first configuration
- Figure 7B shows the pad/pad mount backing rotated. Be that as it may, along a same reference 790a, the profile ratio of Tm:Te may be the same regardless.
- the varied thickness profile of the pad mount backing 758 may be useful to allow the backing 758 to be rigid in the center portion 758a, which may facilitate distribution of thrust out in a larger section of the pad 756, while yet being flexible at the edge(s) 758b to prevent the backing 758 (or pad 756) from “digging” into the body (196) when a blast nozzle (105) is angled from perpendicular to the body.
- the combination of the pad 756, pad mount backing 758, and coupler 755 may allow the pad 756 to remain contoured to the body (196) and in a comfortable position regardless of nozzle position.

- This pressure may be determined by the regulator. So for example, the pressure in the line between the deadman and the control valves may be a reduced, regulated pressure of about 70 psig (as compared to the air source, which may be in excess of 120 psig).
- the method may include releasing the deadman assembly to shut off, whereby the deadman supply port is shut off and the deadman signal or pilot port may be vented to atmospheric through the remote deadman valves until the pressure drops below the control valve deactivation pressure at the pilot port.
- the control valve(s) may then shut off air pressure and vent the signal line of the abrasive, air, and exhaust valve to atmospheric through vents.
- the method may include a deactivation response time of about one to two seconds or less by reducing this pressure differential.
- the pressure differential between the deadman assembly and the respective control valves deactivation point may be in the range of about 10 to 95 psi.

- a ratio of thickness of the middle pad backing thickness to the end pad backing thickness is in a range of 1.2 to 4.
- the hose or carrier is not associated with a deadman assembly. In other embodiments, the hose or carrier is associated with a deadman assembly.
- Embodiments herein may beneficially move or transfer thrust forces to center mass of a user’s body, center of gravity.
- the thrust pad may also be anchored to other parts of the body that can safely and comfortably sustain force. There may be significant reduction or mitigation of strain on arms and hands. Still other benefits disclosed herein may result in decreased down time due to fatigue or injury increasing productivity, as well as better control of blast hose due to less strain on the body, safety.
- Embodiments herein may reduce rotational torso strain. More control of the nozzle may be achieved, as the body may be able to absorbs thrust, thereby reducing the nozzle force acting against the hands and arms allowing the nozzle / hose to be manipulated more easily.
